A method of making a window pane that has a plurality of glass pieces arranged in a predetermined pattern and joined at adjacent edges by cames having flanges on both faces of the pane. The method includes the steps of making a mold of both faces of a master window to be duplicated, positioning pieces of glass which are copies of these used to make the original onto the molded surface of one mold with the edges of each piece of glass adjoining the open channel pattern of the mold, said pattern produced by the cames of the master window. The faces of the mold portions are joined, clamping the glass pieces between them. Moldable, colored resin is introduced to fill the spaces between the glass pieces and allowed to set. The finished article is then removed from the mold and has cames which faithfully duplicate in pattern, color and texture the leaded cames of the original.
